    Dug the Smoker Out of the Garage; Should Have Done That Long Ago...

    An older 30-inch Masterbuilt electric smoker. I'm gonna try doing some on the classic Weber kettle, with charcoal as the heat source, with the wood for added flavor. Seasoned apple and walnut that I cut from my farm last year. Lol, thanks, but not what I'm going for. It's effing delicious, and...

    Dug the Smoker Out of the Garage; Should Have Done That Long Ago...

    Since I figured the alcohol content in the pork and sauce would already count towards my 8 hours, I figured I'd go all-in, so I sat out on the deck with a few fingers of 16 year Lagavulin single-malt, and finished off with a Perdomo Lot 23 Nicaraguan.

    Dug the Smoker Out of the Garage; Should Have Done That Long Ago...

    I've developed a couple of sauces that I feel can really only be improved much by accompanying with good meat, not the store-bought stuff anymore... So I dug my smoker out of the garage. I've never used it, and my dad hasn't used it in at least 6-8 years. It was mostly just dusty, so...

    How many were low actual time IFR?

    I got .3 in training, and only another 1.0 in the years after my rating. Once I got on with the airline, it took probably around 15-20 to feel comfortable in IMC. No autopilot is more fun! Sure, in straight-n-level cruise I'll use it so I can get some paperwork done, but by the time I'm at...

    Filing /U for IFR

    How could it be an inconvenience on the system that was designed for not GPS? Nope, not legal to accept a direct to clearance without legal RNAV equipment. Since most are capable, ATC oftentimes doesn't even look at an aircraft's filed equipment suffix, so be prepared to receive a direct-to...

    Pilot Bailed Out Near STL

    I left STL about an hour ago and there was a pilot on frequency asking TRACON for a radar fix of another aircraft that just had an emergency. He said the pilot bailed out with a chute and is reportedly ok, but they were unable to locate him or the plane. Waiting for more details...

    Nick's at KJEF

    I have, but it was a couple years ago. Not bad, but nothing special. Typical mid-range airport cafe.

    Interpretation of FAR 61.51(h)(2)

    Interesting, didn't know that... But wouldn't I still log that as dual received for the sim time, regardless of what certificate they hold?

    Interpretation of FAR 61.51(h)(2)

    Great, thanks for the answers. I kinda figured it would be fine, but just wanted to make sure. I doubt it would ever be questioned anyway.

    Interpretation of FAR 61.51(h)(2)

    FAR 61.51(h)(2) states that training time in a flight training device must be "logged in a logbook" and "be endorsed in a legible manner by the authorized instructor" including "the authorized instructor's signature, certificate number, and certificate expiration date." Going through my...

    Carb. Ice Incident - I Said the "E" Word

    I hadn't considered that but I dis switch to the left tank once leveled off, then switched left/right every 30 minutes. In this situation, I already had the selector in the "left" position, and switched to "right" after following the placarded checklist above the throttle. But thanks for the...

    Carb. Ice Incident - I Said the "E" Word

    A few days ago I was doing a ferry of a 1961 172B with a Continental O-300. Unfamiliar airframe and power-plant; I guess I've been a bit jaded flying mid-2000s throughout my career, with the exception of a couple here and there... So I depart AMA towards ABQ, climbing up to 10,500. During...

    Legal question about public airport access

    I don't know the answer to your question, but it closely parallels a question I've had for a while, but never bothered to look up: how are landing fees legal? As with your situation, it's a fee to access a public use facility...

    Route Advice: St. Louis, MO to Palm Springs, CA

    It's a '61 172B, with "the 6 cylinder Continental" and dual VOR. There is a handheld GPS (mounted on yoke) but I figure my iPad will do everything I need instead of figuring that out. I'm guessing "the 6 cylinder Continental" means it's 160hp+ burning the usual 8-10ish GPH in cruise... Anyone...

    Route Advice: St. Louis, MO to Palm Springs, CA

    Got a last-minute ferry in a 172 from St. Louis, MO to Palm Springs, CA leaving tomorrow afternoon. I did do a similar flight years ago during my CMEL training, so I do know a bit of what to expect, but still looking for any tips/advice on routes or stops (or just something cool to stop and...
